(G•in•tea) An ancient Gaelic word, meaning “fair” or “peace” and is modernly used to describe a type of bonding or healing moment between a person and someone else they care deeply about in a stressful or negative situation, where they would talk everything out, sit in silence, share a hug, a kiss, or even share any type of embrace in reassurance that it will get better and to fix the current situation or mood.

A “Ginty” is used to help:
• calm a person in anger,

• help prevent or battle anxiety,

• assists in ending depressive episodes
• helps put an end to self-harming or self abuse (mentally)

Referring to the movie, “the Jerk Theory”, The main character sings the song, “Tell me it’s okay” and shares a Ginty with the woman in the scene, at 1:23:42 when she walks on stage and reassures him.
In that Ginty, she kissed his hand, gently released her grip and whispered her final words to him, “I’ll never let go” watching him drift slowly in to the waters below, “I’ll never let go Jack, I’ll never let go.”

Sakata Gintoki 

noun (from the manga/anime "Gintama" by Hideaki Sorachi); the main protagonist of the story. He is the founder of the Yorozuya (a freelance group) and is also a highly skilled samurai. In Yorozuya, he works with Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura. He enjoys eating sweet things and picking his nose in public. Other than the name 'Gintoki', he is also commonly referred to as Gin-chan or Gin-san. He has silver hair and a natural perm. He wears a black shirt and pants with red linings, and a white yukata (a summer kimono) with light blue patterns worn sloppily, draped over his left shoulder. His weapon of choice is usually a bokutou, a wooden katana, engraved with the word Touyako (or literally Lake Toya) on the handle, carried by his waist. During Joui wars, he was known as the legendary Shiroyasha (a.k.a. White Demon). According to Sorachi, Gintoki's name was based from Sakata Kintoki, also known as Kintaro, from a famous folk tale set in the Heian Perod. He does not like killing, willing to adapt his bushido to other people or the current times in order to avoid needless loss of lives which is the most probable reason for his carrying a wooden sword and not a real version. He is the target of the masochistic ninja stalker Sarutobi Ayame and he has a crush on the weather-girl Ketsuno Ana.
Sakata Gintoki's quote: "The country? The skies? You can have them. I'm busy just protecting what's right in front of me. I don't know what'll happen to me in the future, but if something has fallen at my feet, then the least I can do is pick it up."

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
